If Federal spending over the past thirteen years had been frozen at 1999 levels, except for inflation, we would have had surpluses every year since then except four of them, and the largest deficit of those four years (during the 2008 crash) would have been about $89 billion.

It’s not too late for the president to take a cue from his predecessors and enter good-faith budget negotiations with congressional Republicans.

Uh, yes it is. Obama has no interest in cutting a dime from the “budget”. Boehner doesn’t have the b@lls to force a government shutdown or hold off on raising the debt ceiling in order to get concessions on genuine spending cuts from the Dems. And the idiot Democrat base honestly believes we can keep funding the nanny state on the backs of a small percentage of taxpayers regardless despite the trillion-dollar annual deficits or endless money printing by Bernanke.

I wish there were another way out of this, but the whole thing is going to have to collapse before a majority of Americans wake the F up. The only question then is how does the nation respond to a fiscal crisis of that magnitude?

Most of America will never hear your message, it will hear the democrat party twisted interpretation of our message. You can’t win if the people don’t hear you.

We must fight the root of our problem, the media every way possible.

Exactly. I doubt very much whether moving to the left would help the GOP. Conservatism is alive and well, particularly at state levels. It’s messaging and better-policing some of the folks in our caucus (Todd Akin, anyone) who go off the reservation. Just as much as that; however, is the fact that we have to shed some of the RINOs who go along to get along with the Dems. What that doesn’t mean is replacing them with candidates who may be good, solid conservatives policy-wise, but who can’t win an election. A good example of this was the Mike Castle/Christine O’Donnell primary. I disliked Castle enough to support O’Donnell initially, but boy to I wish we would’ve stuck with Castle. I, and quite a few other conservatives were wrong on that one.

I think the number one problem for us is getting our platform heard on OUR terms. Letting the dinosaur media do it is showing our platform on the Dems’ terms, and we all know how well that works.

When are people going to realize that there is no plan other than the one to intentionally crater this country’s economy? When are people going to realize that we’re so close to losing our freedom that it will only take a few more pillars to fall? Are the majority of the people in our Republic REALLY this stupid? So stupid that they would give up their God given rights to benign dictators? I guess I’m headed for the new amerikan gulag or the executioner’s chair because I’ll fight these bastages no matter what.

But time is running out for Democrats to get serious about governance. That concrete barrier—in the form of the 2014 midterm—lies just ahead on the highway, and they’re joy riding straight toward it.
